It came out a few days ago XAMPP 1.8.0 yesterday after upgrading from version 1.7.7 I had a pretty interesting problem. Phpmyadmin-а не ми се отваряше и изгърмяваше със 403
Access forbidden!
New XAMPP security concept:
Access to the requested object is only available from the local network.
This setting can be configured in the file “httpd-xampp.conf”.
Веднага отворих httpd-xampp.conf който при мен се намира в /opt/lampp/etc/extra/, на пръв поглед всичко изглеждаше наред. The LAN rules were fine. Apart from opening from localhost. WTF ??? I looked at the log and saw that my access was cut off from the configuration. Тука вече нещата ме ахнаха и честно казано донякъде малко на късмет открих проблема. След като преглеждах httpd.conf-а видях в Allow/Deny клаузите един последен ред Require all granted. Oh yes eureka. This is the new control mechanism that has entered apache 2.4.x. It gives access or denies access to all required, it generally mimics the Allow / Deny functionality :). To fix the problem add Require all granted in the / opt / lampp / phpmyadmin folder directives. After the changes, it looks like this to me
<Directory “/opt / lampp / phpmyadmin”>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Require all granted
</Directory>
Viangi can try other savages, for example to rename the phpmyadmin folder to something else and make an alias to no. But it's uglier and not very meaningful 🙂
p.s I was asked why I use XAMPP and not a clean installation of all components as my Debian gave birth to them – the answer is very very simple – LAZINESS. I'm too lazy to write a few commands and then touch my conf and so on. It is much easier to download the whole package, unzip and burn 😉
